I doubt it. The watch will still work, but the app needed to sync to the watch won’t.
I’ve been really frustrated with old “utility” apps not working anymore on iOS (due to not being updated to 64bit). I’m all for upgrades and new stuff, but it sucks when a simple app that did exactly what you needed is no longer able to run.

The Pebble community have created their own services to combat that (though I've not tried it yet myself as the regular Pebble app still works fine on my phone)
